Escape to your own private cabin retreat in the heart of beautiful Ellijay with this charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, nestled on a sprawling and private 3.5-acre lot. As you drive up the long and private driveway, you'll be greeted by a large and inviting rocking chair front porch that welcomes you to your new home. Step inside and be greeted by the warm and inviting living room, complete with plenty of natural light, a gorgeous vaulted wood ceiling with rustic wood beams, and a cozy wood-burning stove and fireplace. The kitchen features new black walnut butcher block counters, pickled cabinets, and an island perfect for meal prep or casual dining. Two bedrooms share a full bath on the main floor, while upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom complete with an en-suite bathroom, as well as an additional bedroom. Step outside onto the sprawling back deck and take in the serene wooded views and fresh mountain air. Spend evenings by the outdoor firepit. Conveniently located just a short drive from downtown Ellijay, Dawsonville, Amicalola Falls, Burt's Pumpkin Farm, Iron Mountain ATV park, and the many apple orchards of Ellijay, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds - the peace and quiet of country living, with the convenience of nearby shops, restaurants, and attractions.
